SUMMARY:Manny’s: How Progressive and Populist Media is Shifting the Democratic Party
DESCRIPTION:Explore the impact of progressive media on the future of the Democratic Party with More Perfect Union and Inequality Media Civic Action! \nThe future of the Democratic Party is uncertain. Some\, like Bernie or Mamdani\, are pushing further left into populist messaging\, whereas others are making sure we don’t stray too far from the center. Join us for this evening with the leaders of two of the most influential progressive media groups in the nation right now. \nInequality Media Civic Action was founded in 2018 by former Secretary of Labor and famous economist Robert Reich. More Perfect Union was founded in 2021 by Bernie Sanders’s Campaign Manager Faiz Shakir and Communications Director Josh Miller-Lewis. Both have been instrumental in different ways towards expanding progressive and populist messaging ever since. So let’s explore together what the real-world impact has been of their organizations\, how they compete with the corporate media\, and what their long-term goals are. \n_____________________________ \nJosh Miller-Lewis co-founded More Perfect Union in 2021 and serves as Editor-In-Chief\, managing the newsroom. Under Josh’s leadership\, More Perfect Union has garnered over 2 billion video views and is now the fastest growing news channel on YouTube. Under his leadership MPU has been nominated for 10 Emmy’s and won one Emmy\, two Webby’s and two Sidney Hillman awards. Prior to co-founding More Perfect Union\, Josh served as Senator Bernie Sanders’ Communications Director and as Creative Director for Bernie 2020\, managing the first in-house TV & digital ad production team on a presidential campaign. \n_____________________________ \nHeather Kinlaw Lofthouse is the Executive Director of Inequality Media Civic Action and the Executive Producer of the documentary The Last Class. She is also the co-host of “The Coffee Klatch\,” a conversational podcast about the news of the week\, with her longtime collaborator Robert Reich. She has held leadership roles at universities and non-profit organizations in the fields of media\, education\, and global health.

SUMMARY:Manny’s: War in Iran (Part 3/3): What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:Join nuclear security and nonproliferation expert professor Scott Sagan (Stanford) to understand where this war is going next. \nIn the first event\, Professor Daniel Sargent (UC Berkeley) helped us understand the history of U.S.-Iran relations that got us to this point. In the second event\, Professor Stephen Zunes (USF) helped us connect that history to the present. \nFinally\, in our last event\, Professor Scott Sagan (Stanford) will show us what is next. As a nuclear security and nonproliferation expert\, Prof. Sagan will guide us through the decisions being made by the U.S. and Iran in the present day and help us understand what we can expect next in this crazy war. We will discuss the nuclear program\, military actions\, and the desired outcomes of the U.S. and Iran. \n_________________________________ \nScott D. Sagan is Co-Director and Senior Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation\, the Caroline S.G. Munro Professor of Political Science\, and the Bass University Fellow in Undergraduate Education at Stanford University. He also serves as Co-Chair of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Committee on International Security Studies. Before joining the Stanford faculty\, Sagan was a lecturer in the Department of Government at Harvard University and served as special assistant to the director of the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. \nSagan is the author of Moving Targets: Nuclear Strategy and National Security (Princeton University Press\, 1989); The Limits of Safety: Organizations\, Accidents\, and Nuclear Weapons (Princeton University Press\, 1993); and\, with co-author Kenneth N.

Sagan was also the guest editor of a two-volume special issue of Daedalus: Ethics\, Technology\, and War (Fall 2016) and The Changing Rules of War (Winter 2017). \nRecent publications include “Kettles of Hawks: Public Opinion on the Nuclear Taboo and Noncombatant Immunity in the United States\, United Kingdom\, France\, and Israel”\, with Janina Dill and Benjamin A.

In 2017\, he received the International Studies Association’s Susan Strange Award which recognizes the scholar whose “singular intellect\, assertiveness\, and insight most challenge conventional wisdom and intellectual and organizational complacency” in the international studies community. Sagan was also the recipient of the National Academy of Sciences William and Katherine Estes Award in 2015\, for his work addressing the risks of nuclear weapons and the causes of nuclear proliferation. The award\, which is granted triennially\, recognizes “research in any field of cognitive or behavioral science that advances understanding of issues relating to the risk of nuclear war.” In 2013\, Sagan received the International Studies Association’s International Security Studies Section Distinguished Scholar Award.

SUMMARY:Victoria Theatre: Bard Theatre presents BACCHAE
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL EVENTS:  \nJune 12th (Opening Night) – Join us for a special talkback after the show with translator Dr. Emily Wilson! (Included in ticket price). \nJune 13th – Join us for Community Night with specially priced discount tickets! \nThe BACCHAE is an electrifying Greek tragedy by Euripides\, which originally premiered shortly after his death in 405 B.C.E. The play centers around the proud and charismatic god of wine\, Dionysus\, and his reverent group of followers: the Bacchants. Threatened by their disregard for societal norms and gender roles\, the king of Thebes denies Dionysus’s godhood and seeks to destroy the Bacchants’ freedom and sacred\, ecstatic rituals. In return\, Dionysus shows him the bloody truth of what it means to deny the identity of a god.  \nThis dance-forward\, world premiere performance of acclaimed classicist Dr. Emily Wilson’s vibrant translation focuses on themes of gender non-conformity\, bodily autonomy\, identity\, and community. So… “you would like to see what may disgust you?”  \nWritten by Euripides / Translated by Dr. Emily Wilson\nAdapted by E.M. Ervolina & Edward Paddock\nChoreographed by Edward Paddock\nDirected by E.M. Ervolina

SUMMARY:The Marsh: Josh Kornbluth - What Is To Be Done?
DESCRIPTION:Josh Kornbluth’s\nWhat Is To Be Done?\nFighting Fascism and Depression\nThe Marsh San Francisco Mainstage \n“Josh Kornbluth is a genius: his latest show displays the full breadth of his keen insights and biting wit.”\n–Theatrius \nJune 19 – July 31\, 2026\nFridays at 7:30 pm\nNo Show June 26 & July 3\nSpecial Matinee Saturday June 27 at 5:00 pm \nWritten & Performed by Josh Kornbluth\nDeveloped in Collaboration with Jon Tracy\nTicket Information\nTickets: $15 – $35 General Seating | $50 & $100 Reserved Seating\n90 minutes | No intermission\n(Please do not bring infants to the show)\nOnline ticket sales close 2 hours before each performance.\nAdditional tickets may be available for purchase at the door. \nShow Description\nFor over 35 years\, Josh Kornbluth has developed his monologues through a series of improvisations — often at The Marsh. What’s currently on\, and in\, his mind are the related subjects of fascism and depression. For over seven months last year\, he was mired in a deep depression. At the same time\, our country had begun rapidly descending into fascism. So Josh found himself in a Resistance on at least two levels: against MAGA’s depredations\, and against attacks from within his own psyche. And the struggle continues! Can he help save our democracy even as he tries to pull himself together? Will he have to perform these improvs from a psychiatrist’s couch? What Is To Be Done? is a work in (and of) progress. \nArtist Biography\nJosh Kornbluth (Playwright & Performer) has been creating and performing autobiographical monologues for over three decades. He also has written and starred in two feature  films\, directed by his brother Jacob Kornbluth: Haiku Tunnel and Love & Taxes. For two years he hosted his own interview program on KQED-TV in San Francisco\, cleverly titled The Josh Kornbluth Show. His “Citizen Brain” videos (citizenbrain.org) have been viewed by over half a million people. Josh is starring in an upcoming feature film called Morons. He has a Substack called “But Not Enough About Me” (https://joshkornbluth.substack.com/)\, which you can subscribe to for free. You can also find him at joshkornbluth.com. Josh lives in Berkeley with his wife and son.

SUMMARY:Manny’s: Monthly Chocolate Club at Manny's - Let's Explore Chocolate
DESCRIPTION:Monthly discussions exploring and enjoying the wonders of chocolate! Bring curiosity and a chocolate to share! \nVenture with us into this endless and delicious topic. \nEach club session is a round table discussion in the Living Room\, at the back tables. \nWhat you bring to the conversation is curiosity and chocolate to share. Your contribution may be a bar or a confection\, a nostalgic favorite\, a sample of a rare cacao\, or even something you dislike and want to learn more about. Everyone please bring something to contribute to this beautiful community! \nHere are a few infrequently asked questions about chocolate: \n    What actually is chocolate?\n    Why does chocolate resonate so vividly with us in body\, mind\, and spirit?\n    Cacao is called the “Food of the Gods” and is highly nutritious. What is science showing us about phytonutrients that benefit our health and well-being?\n    How might we think about chocolate in contemporary culture and our shared human history? The oldest confirmed evidence of cacao use by our ancestors is approximately 5\,000 years ago. Our history and future with chocolate are worth discussing.\n    We have a complex language for discussing wine—why not cacao and chocolate? \nWho is David? \nDavid has fifteen years of professional experience and a lifetime of enthusiasm for chocolate. As a chocolatier\, he makes delightful creations with amazing chocolate in micro-batches and offers them online and at farmers markets. His career in chocolate is rooted in pastry and chocolate production.

SUMMARY:Gray Area Grand Theater: Rite Of The Demon: Summer with Suzanne Ciani
DESCRIPTION:Eternal Research presents Rite of the Demon: Summer\, an evening of collaborative experimentation between contemporary artists and ancient oracles. Featuring LA’s Fierra Ex Machina\, inventors and developers of the Demon Box\, and joined by electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani\, this multimedia event melds storied mediums with cutting-edge transmedia to offer the key to the Oracle of Delphi’s origin: the powers of embodied vision. \nA synesthetic retelling of the Oracle’s visions through live-scored music\, dance\, and film\, Rite of the Demon: Summer invites a conversation with the unseen and unheard made audible and visible. Utilizing motion-reactive live projection\, audio-reactive lighting\, and handmade instruments such as the percussive Demon Harp\, Demon Viola\, and Demon Bells (made from antique artillery shells)\, this performance amplifies the timeless conversation between ear and instrument\, the aether and ourselves. Additionally\, Eternal Research shares our eternal gratitude that Suzanne Ciani will join Rite Of The Demon: Summer. An oracle in her own right for pioneering both the expressive possibilities of electronic music as well as women participating in music culture at large\, Ciani joins Rite to perform an immersive experience in her signature quadraphonic speaker array. \nFollowing performances in Los Angeles and New York City\, Rite of the Demon: Summer is the third iteration of Eternal Research’s ongoing seasonal series of intermedia events. More events to be announced at eternalresearch.com.

SUMMARY:The Marsh: Johnny Lonely & Joshua Raoul Brody’s The Saddest Night of Musical Entertainment in the History of the World
DESCRIPTION:Johnny Lonely & Joshua Raoul Brody’s\nThe Saddest Night of Musical Entertainment\nin the History of the World\nThe Marsh San Francisco Mainstage \nJune 20\, July 18 & 25\, 2026\nSaturdays at 8pm\nWritten & Performed by Johnny Lonely & Joshua Raoul Brody\nDirected by Cliff Mayotte \nTicket Information\nTickets: $25 – $35 General Seating | $50 & $100 Reserved Seating\n75 minutes | No Intermission | Ages 14+\n(Please do not bring infants to the show)\nOnline ticket sales close 2 hours before each performance.\nAdditional tickets may be available for purchase at the door. \nShow Description\nJohnny Lonely\, matchless torch singer\, is convinced that the reason his career hasn’t taken off is because his “Unhappy Hour” isn’t gloomy enough.  But since his girlfriend just dumped him\, tonight’s audition at “The Nowhere to Go but Up Club\,” is his perfect chance to debut The Saddest Night of Musical Entertainment in the History of the World.  His accompanist\, Raoul\, sees this as a professional dumpster fire\, and sabotages Johnny’s plans by throwing in happy songs\, sharing mindfulness tips and changing minor keys to major ones. Like Daffy Duck being tortured by Bugs Bunny\, Johnny eventually loses his mind\, which might be what his audience wanted the act to be all along.  \nThe show incorporates both classic torch songs and original jazz and blues tunes by Johnny Lonely.   An early version of this show\, Johnny Lonely’s Unhappy Hour\, was first performed on “Blue Mondays\,” at the Paradise Lounge\, in San Francisco\, in 1987.  Using a mixture of original songs in the vein of jazz standards with sad pop song covers\, Johnny has underwhelmed crowds at Dear San Francisco\, The 4Star\, Bird and Beckett\, Playground\, The Plush Room\, The Cowell Theatre\, The Rite Spot\, Noe Valley Ministry\, PS NBC\, Joe’s Pub\, (NYC) A revised version\, also directed by Cliff Mayotte\, premiered at The Marsh\, then toured to Australia\, was a Fringe finalist at the 1996 Adelaide Fringe Festival and received 5 star reviews at The Melbourne Comedy Festival.  Other Lonely venues include Club Deluxe\, DNA Lounge\, The Melkweg (ND)\, Catzahr (Paris.) \nArtist Biographies\nBrian Lohmann is a singer-songwriter\, actor-improviser with BATS Improv. “Johnny Lonely\,” grew out of his work with the seminal 80’s SF comedy troupe\, Faultline. He recorded and toured with John Wesley Harding and was a part of the SF vocal jazz sextet\, Acapella Gold. His songs were featured in the indie film\, Thanks\,with Rita Rudner and Edi Patterson. He hosted LIFEGAME for 8 episodes on TNN and was a recurring guest on the talk show\, Ask Rita\, with Rita Rudner.  His solo show\, Johnny Lonely’s Unhappy Hour\, premiered at The Marsh\, then toured to Seattle and Australia.

His debut album\, The One and Lonely\, Johnny Lonely\, is available on BANDCAMP. https://brianlohmann.bandcamp.com/album/the-one-and-lonely-johnny-lonely \nJoshua Raoul Brody is a keyboard player\, accompanist\, and musical director.

He currently runs the live karaoke show Plays His Favorite Beatles Songs AND Accompanies YOU On YOURS!\, plays with and arranges for the medium-sized big band Orchestra Nostalgico\, and is musical director for BATS Improv\, Johnny Lonely’s Unhappy Hour\, and probably The Residents’ (hey\, there’s another act that begins with R!) God In Three Persons if it ever plays again.\nAn early version of this show\, Johnny Lonely’s Unhappy Hour\, was first performed on “Blue Mondays\,” at the Paradise Lounge\, in San Francisco\, in 1987.

SUMMARY:Gray Area Grand Theater: Cybersentics Book Club - June 2026: Where the Turtles End
DESCRIPTION:Gray Area is pleased to host a new reading group\, the Cybersentics Book Club that will explore the human sensorium through the lens of art and technology. \nIn the first cycle\, Cybersentic’s reading list will center key themes related to the bidirectional flow of information between bodies and the environment. The outward perspective examines biofeedback\, while the inward perspective focuses on cyborg art. \nThis book club is a fit for artists\, makers\, researchers\, scholars\, engineers\, and anyone curious about the integration of technology and art. Join us as we investigate how to enhance our sensory experiences\, from biofeedback and sonification to embedding sensors that challenge our perceptions. \nOur group’s purpose is to cultivate a welcoming community that fosters knowledge-sharing and collaboration. Whether you’re seeking to connect with potential collaborators\, look for answers to pressing questions\, gain critical insights\, or engage in peer learning\, this is the place for you! \nCybersentics is organized and led by Gray Area Research Fellow Anastasia Chernysheva as part of the Biofeedback Art|Research Network (BARN). \nAn open-access library that accompanies this book club can be accessed here. \nSypnosis\nThis edition of the book club comes with a Midwestern flavor! In the article on our table\, “Where the Turtles End\,” Kevin Hamilton examines the Adaptive Reorganizing Automaton (ARA)\, an experimental device developed at the University of Illinois Biological Computer Laboratory (BCL) in 1960\, tracing how competing approaches to materiality in the history of computation illuminate a persistent tension between consciousness\, embodiment\, and control.\nDid you know that a small university town amid cornfields (Urbana) has been the home of second-order cybernetics\, early computing\, the first algorithmic music\, the Mosaic graphical web browser\, and so much more? Now you do — and there’s more to that story.\nFor this meeting\, we are trying something new: the session will be held in a hybrid format\, welcoming participants from outside the Bay Area to join us online. We are also hosting the article’s author\, Kevin Hamilton\, who will join us virtually as our first guest speaker.

SUMMARY:Victoria Theatre: Bard Theatre presents BACCHAE
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL EVENTS:  \nJune 12th (Opening Night) – Join us for a special talkback after the show with translator Dr. Emily Wilson! (Included in ticket price). \nJune 13th – Join us for Community Night with specially priced discount tickets! \nThe BACCHAE is an electrifying Greek tragedy by Euripides\, which originally premiered shortly after his death in 405 B.C.E. The play centers around the proud and charismatic god of wine\, Dionysus\, and his reverent group of followers: the Bacchants. Threatened by their disregard for societal norms and gender roles\, the king of Thebes denies Dionysus’s godhood and seeks to destroy the Bacchants’ freedom and sacred\, ecstatic rituals. In return\, Dionysus shows him the bloody truth of what it means to deny the identity of a god.  \nThis dance-forward\, world premiere performance of acclaimed classicist Dr. Emily Wilson’s vibrant translation focuses on themes of gender non-conformity\, bodily autonomy\, identity\, and community. So… “you would like to see what may disgust you?”  \nWritten by Euripides / Translated by Dr. Emily Wilson\nAdapted by E.M. Ervolina & Edward Paddock\nChoreographed by Edward Paddock\nDirected by E.M. Ervolina
